Chapter 461. Rise Up

 

 

“Huff. Huff. Huff.”

Han Seol-bing gasped for breath.

After Ha Mu-baek had left first.

She had truly run with all her might.

Without thinking of the consequences, pouring out all her internal energy.

She barely managed to arrive at Sanwol Great Wall.

She made a dumbfounded expression upon seeing the completely breached and collapsed castle wall.

As far as she knew, there were techniques deployed, so it shouldn’t have collapsed like that from jiangshi attacks.

To collapse like that.

Whatever had happened must have been truly significant.

So that’s why the Dan-ju, no, the Corps Leader had rushed off like a madman.

With such thoughts.

Han Seol-bing headed toward the castle wall.

The people gathered in large numbers didn’t even notice her approach and were staring straight ahead.

‘What is this?’

Looking ahead at the incomprehensible atmosphere.

“Wh-what is… what is this… exactly…?”

She could only mutter in bewilderment.

Not only Beheaded Blood Demons, but all sorts of bizarre jiangshi were steadily swarming toward the castle wall.

“Instructor Han!”

Ha Seol-ran welcomed her.

Of course, it wasn’t a situation where they could leisurely exchange greetings.

Only then did people begin to notice Han Seol-bing’s arrival at Ha Seol-ran’s cry.

“It’s been a while.”

Dam Mu-heun smiled broadly.

It was a smile that seemed to carry a heavy burden somewhere.

Dam Mu-heun turned his head.

Following his gaze.

There was So Hwi-ung gritting his teeth and deploying the Righteous Sword Path.

“Alliance Leader? Elder?”

And beside him, Wi Ji-gun was deploying the Righteous Sword Technique.

“Where is the Corps Leader?”

Han Seol-bing looked for Ha Mu-baek.

No one questioned the new title of Corps Leader.

The current situation wasn’t the time for such things.

In the distance.

Ha Mu-baek could be seen fighting against five powerful jiangshi.

However, his appearance was uncharacteristically passive.

No, that level was already remarkable.

Strength beyond imagination.

Han Seol-bing could tell immediately upon seeing those five.

That day.

They were the same entities as that monster jiangshi called Myeol-cheon that she had encountered at the Blood Cult’s main base.

To face five such beings simultaneously without being pushed back.

It was a realm beyond monsters.

‘Just how much stronger must one become…?’

And at the same time, she could understand the identity of the heavy atmosphere that had settled over this place.

Ha Mu-baek was being held back by the five Myeolcheon Gangsi.

Below the castle wall, things that might be jiangshi or monsters were steadily swarming.

Dark Blood Jiangshi, Silent Iron Jiangshi, Blood Jiangshi, Death Jiangshi, even Beheaded Blood Demons.

Truly all sorts of beings had become monsters and were approaching.

Currently, only the Elder and Alliance Leader could stop them.

It had to be that way.

Because Dark Blood Jiangshi that had turned into monsters were mixed in there.

If the Maengryong Corps or Bongma Corps went down to block them, it was obvious what would happen.

Even those two seemed to be gradually reaching their limits.

Han Seol-bing bit her lip.

She too had arrived after consuming all her internal energy.

There was no way for her to help.

She too.

Soon came to have the same expression as the others gathered at this place.

 

‘Has Seol-bing arrived?’

Ha Mu-baek currently had his energy sense spread only around this vicinity.

The reason was because he was using it together with the Wuji Bright Wheel Eyes.

It was a method used because he needed to accurately perceive the internal energy states of his Master and the Alliance Leader.

The five Myeolcheon Gangsi were pressing Ha Mu-baek with terrifying momentum.

Ha Mu-baek was blocking their attacks with minimal responses.

To anyone watching, he appeared to be on the defensive.

“Kekeke.”

Deung Ang-cheon, watching from afar, let out an unpleasant laugh.

Besides the five Guardian Deities, the Dark Blood Jiangshi he had revived were also intermittently attacking Ha Mu-baek.

He was pleased that they were gradually gaining the upper hand.

The fact that they could barely gain an advantage only after deploying this level of force.

It showed just how monstrous that unknown bastard was.

Therefore, it wasn’t a situation where he could purely rejoice.

The reason Ha Mu-baek was on the defensive was simple.

It was to reduce energy consumption while dealing with these beings.

To sweep them away in one go once sufficient energy was gathered.

He had retreated about two steps in order to advance ten steps.

‘Master is probably reaching his limit soon too.’

So Hwi-ung as well, of course.

Now their internal energy remained only precariously at rock bottom.

The Righteous Sword Technique and Righteous Sword Path blocking the approach of the demon jiangshi seemed like they could only be deployed about one more time.

Whether he had truly scraped his internal energy to the bottom, thin blood trickled from the corner of So Hwi-ung’s mouth.

Despair cast over the faces of those who confirmed that sight.

Because it was blood indicating internal injuries.

They instinctively realized that the Jeongcheon Alliance Leader could no longer deploy the Righteous Sword Path like that.

Wi Ji-gun’s face also turned deathly pale.

‘You bastard. Hurry up and move. Your Master is going to die.’

It was a cry from within his heart.

Wi Ji-gun believed in Ha Mu-baek.

Even though his face had turned deathly pale.

There was composure in that expression.

It was composure that could only come from knowing his disciple’s true power.

“I should finish this soon.”

At that moment, tremendous energy erupted from Ha Mu-baek’s body as he muttered those words.

Kuaaaaa!

The Myeolcheon Gangsi surrounding Ha Mu-baek staggered back from the shockwave.

About three to five steps.

“What?”

Deung Ang-cheon was startled by Ha Mu-baek’s suddenly changed momentum, but.

Ha Mu-baek, as if he had no interest in him at all.

Gripped his sword in reverse and plunged it straight into the ground.

“Explode.”

Kukwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!

Kukukukukwangkwangkwang!!!

With an explosive sound that seemed to shatter the world, the ground burst apart in all directions.

The jiangshi were swept away and blown apart by the explosion.

Even so.

The creatures that reassembled and squirmed back to life.

“Rise.”

The moment Ha Mu-baek muttered softly at that sight.

Ha Mu-baek’s internal energy spread out in all directions.

Kuuuuuuung!

With a heavy rumbling.

The earth from the ground shot up, creating a massive earthen wall.

An earthen wall of such height that those monsters who died and came back to life could never climb.

Was formed in a circle around Ha Mu-baek.

In one stroke.

A massive battlefield was created where Ha Mu-baek alone would face all of them.

“Wh-what is this…”

At the tremendous spectacle that was utterly unbelievable for a human to have accomplished.

Deung Ang-cheon had a momentarily dazed expression.

Ha Mu-baek’s movements did not stop.

He released the sword embedded in the ground and reached his hand toward the sky.

Targeting that momentary gap.

Myeong Cho-jin’s twin blades flew toward Ha Mu-baek.

The ninth blade strike.

The moment his heaviest blade strike that he could unleash fell toward Ha Mu-baek.

Ha Mu-baek opened both eyes.

In midair.

A white sword aura erupted.

Hwaheo Sword Aura.

A sword aura that existed purely without a sword.

The moment it blocked Myeong Cho-jin’s twin blades.

“Rise.”

As he muttered the same words once more.

“Huh? Huh huh?”

“Wh-what?”

The weapons like swords and blades at the waists of the Maengryong Corps and Bongma Corps were smoothly drawn and flew up into the air.

People startled by the sudden situation.

Ha Mu-baek limited the range of his ki sense to within the earthen wall.

The ki sense combined with his Infinite Bright Wheel Eye precisely detected the presence of every being within the earthen wall.

Strong energy began to cover the countless weapons floating in midair one by one.

At the strange phenomenon, the five Myeolcheon Gangsi plus.

Even Deung Ang-cheon attacked Ha Mu-baek with full power, but.

The Hwaheo Sword Aura moved on its own as if it had a will, blocking all those attacks.

It was close-range sword control.

“Die.”

The moment sword aura covered all the swords in midair.

Ha Mu-baek muttered in a voice filled with killing intent.

The swords, blades, and weapons in the sky plunged down to the ground at light-like speed.

Shuk! Shushuk!

Leaving only quiet air-cutting sounds.

The weapons that fell in the blink of an eye.

Puk! Pupuk! Pupupupuk!

Were all embedded in the demons moving toward the earthen wall.

One for each creature.

The weapons that fell from the sky and embedded as if nailing the creatures to the ground.

They tried to come back to life and move due to Deung Ang-cheon’s sorcery, but.

Since they were nailed to the ground by weapons imbued with strong energy.

All they could do was squirm in place.

Ha Mu-baek looked at that sight with profound eyes.

“H-h-how… th-this is…”

Deung Ang-cheon was completely stunned, looking at that sight with disbelieving eyes.

The other five Myeolcheon Gangsi as well.

Stopped their hands, souls departed.

A human who accomplished what humans cannot accomplish was before their eyes.

The same was true for the castle wall.

Though all their weapons had disappeared.

The series of events that happened afterward.

Whether what they were clearly seeing with their own two eyes.

Was actually reality.

Only Namgung Hu and Namgung Yu-ji, who had seen a similar scene at the Namgung Family Estate before.

But it was incomparable to the absurd divine power Ha Mu-baek had just shown.

Simply drawing up countless others’ weapons, imbuing all of them with strong energy, then.

Precisely dropping them on creatures scattered in all directions?

Not a single one had missed its mark.

How could a human do such a thing.

Meanwhile, only Namgung Hu’s sword remained intact at his waist.

Ha Mu-baek had simply selected and taken only the standard-issue weapons.

When his thoughts reached that point.

“Is he really human…”

Such doubt flowed unconsciously from Namgung Hu’s mouth.

“Let’s see if you can still come back to life after this.”

Ha Mu-baek raised his right hand.

Hwareureureuk.

A small flame appeared above his hand.

 

***

 

“Huk. Huk. Huk.”

Do Sim-geuk ran frantically.

He had to reach the farthest place first.

The place he stopped by in that process.

Life was most important, but he couldn’t leave this place behind.

He quickly grabbed two jade boxes and put them in his bosom.

And ran again.

What was inside them.

A jiangshi’s inner core, and a spiritual pill refined from the inner core.

While running, he opened a jade box and took out one spiritual pill to put in his mouth.

He chewed and swallowed it thoroughly.

Originally these were objects that should be sent to Master.

But when a life-threatening crisis appeared before his eyes.

Do Sim-geuk acted on instinct.

He only thought about surviving.

He knew in his head that even if he chewed and swallowed the spiritual pill now, he wouldn’t become stronger immediately.

However, his instinct was telling him he had to do something, anything.

That’s why he put the spiritual pill in his mouth.

When he finished eating one, he put the next one in his mouth and chewed.

The process of chewing and swallowing was annoyingly long too.

He resented why this didn’t dissolve into liquid and go down his throat the moment he put it in his mouth like legendary spiritual pills.

Since they were too big to eat two at once.

While running.

He chewed diligently.

Until a terrifying voice suddenly came from right beside him.

“You. You’re carrying something interesting?”

“Huk.”

It was a chilling voice.

A voice that seemed ready to deliver death immediately.

All of Do Sim-geuk’s actions stopped.

His legs that had been running hard.

His jaw that had been chewing hard.

He stopped just like that and stood with a blank face.

The old man who appeared before him.

No.

Should he call it a corpse?

A terrifying being with a gaunt body and only black pupils in its eyes.

It seemed like its lips weren’t moving.

But it was speaking.

“Orthodox Sect bastards extract inner cores from jiangshi. And they even make medicine from them to eat?”

Dokgo Ya-pae’s two eyes turned toward Do Sim-geuk’s mouth.

He had followed this guy wondering what the fastest runner was doing.

Do Sim-geuk had unintentionally become bait, buying time for others to escape.

“Child. What exactly is this?”

Dokgo Ya-pae asked Do Sim-geuk.

He wanted to say why are you asking when you already know everything.

But Do Sim-geuk, whose entire body was frozen in fear, couldn’t do anything.

“There are crazy bastards among the Orthodox Sect too. To think they’d do something even the Main Sect didn’t think of. Kekeke.”

A jiangshi’s inner core.

Pills made from it.

A human taking them.

It was interesting.

“Let’s see.”

Dokgo Ya-pae took the jade box held in Do Sim-geuk’s hand.

The jade box containing spiritual pills.

He brought one of them to his own mouth.

It was already a body that had died and become a jiangshi.

What would happen if such a body ate pills made from a jiangshi’s inner core?

Suddenly curious, Dokgo Ya-pae chewed the pill thoroughly.
